“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” – Hebrews 10:24-25
LIGHT FOR NOW: A vacation off prayer is not the believer’s lifestyle. Even in your vacation, pray, because prayer is not part of the vacation.
In 2Thessalonians 5:17, the bible echoes, “Pray without ceasing”. Prayer is an activity that is done daily and continuously. There is never a time a believer stops praying. From the different categories of things and people we pray for, it thus implies that the believer’s life should be a life of prayer. In praying for ourselves, we should pray more for our spiritual wellbeing, for insight in God’s word more than physical things as this was the emphasis in the scriptures (Ephesians 1:16-23; Philippians 1:9-11; Colossians 1:9-11; Philemon 6). We are also to pray for ourselves to walk in God’s plans and purposes for our lives, to walk in wisdom (James 1:5).
Above all, we should be found praying much more for others, and other believers. We should spend more time praying for our local church, the members and ministers of the church. 1Corinthians 14:26 “How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, everyone of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying”. If we receive edification from the local church, then we should pray for the church. Majority of Paul’s prayer was for the church; the local church. We are edified when everyone is growing and participating in the local church. We can pray in the spirit always, daily without ceasing. 1Corinthians 14:18 “I thank my God, I speak in tongues more than ye all”. Our lifestyle of praying should be done in the spirit; praying in tongues. You must be given to prayer. You must culture and nurture the habit of prayer. Prayer must become your custom and lifestyle as a believer. Yes, it must. Glory!
INSTRUCTION: Be a praying believer.
CONFESSION: I declare that my passion in the place of prayer increases, in Jesus Name, Amen.
QUOTE: Seven days without prayer equals to one week without conversing with your maker, think!
